If I understand well your question, you can use
-reg FOOD_REC_YESNO WSTCHGE_WTANDVOL C7_WSTCHRG_FREQ ......, base(0) OR base(1)- as per your requirement.

Dear Sharon,
I'm not sure I understand your query.
Assuming C7_FLAT_FEE is coded now 0 'by weight' 1 'flat fee' , you
only have to recode 0=1 and 1=0 to make flat fee the reference
category (remember to change value labels).
Alternatively, you can try if this works:
char C7_FLAT_FEE [omit] 1
Best regards,
Angel Rodriguez-Laso

> How do I change the "base" variable for the following when I want to compare the respondents that pay by weight against the ones that pay by flat fee. I want to use the "Flat Fee" as the base reference and compare the other values against it, so from what I understand, the Flat Fee will be 0 and the other variables relate to this one???
